• The General Mental Health Forum is now a Read Only Forum. As we had two large areas making it difficult for many to find, we decided to combine the Mental Health & the Recovery sections of the forum into Mental Health & Recovery as a whole. Physical Health still remains as it's own area within the entire Recovery area.

    If you are having struggles, need support in a particular area that you aren't finding a specific recovery area forum, you may find the General Struggles forum a great place to post. Any any that is related to emotions, self-esteem, insomnia, anger, relationship dynamics due to mental health and recovery and other issues that don't fit better in another forum would be examples of topics that might go there.

    If you have spiritual issues related to a mental health and recovery issue, please use the Recovery Related Spiritual Advice forum. This forum is designed to be like Christian Advice, only for recovery type of issues. Recovery being like a family in many ways, allows us to support one another together. May you be blessed today and each day.

  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.
  • We hope the site problems here are now solved, however, if you still have any issues, please start a ticket in Contact Us

Hello, new to this forum! I would like to ask for a prayer request. I have been struggling with severe, crippling OCD for about a year now. It has had me hospitalized before. I believe, deep down in my heart, that Jesus Christ is ABSOLUTELY going to deliver me from this, show me the way out, and the light at the end of the tunnel. I ask that any one who is willing, will please pray for me to make a full recovery. Thank you in advance, and God bless!!!

“casting all your anxieties on him, because he cares for you.”

‭‭1 Peter‬ ‭5:7‬ ‭ESV‬‬

“And I tell you, you are Peter, and on this rock I will build my church, and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it.”

‭‭Matthew‬ ‭16:18‬ ‭ESV‬‬

“The Lord is good to all, and his mercy is over all that he has made.”

‭‭Psalms‬ ‭145:9‬ ‭ESV‬‬

“"For thus says the Lord: When seventy years are completed for Babylon, I will visit you, and I will fulfill to you my promise and bring you back to this place. For I know the plans I have for you, declares the Lord, plans for welfare and not for evil, to give you a future and a hope. Then you will call upon me and come and pray to me, and I will hear you. You will seek me and find me, when you seek me with all your heart. I will be found by you, declares the Lord, and I will restore your fortunes and gather you from all the nations and all the places where I have driven you, declares the Lord, and I will bring you back to the place from which I sent you into exile.”

‭‭Jeremiah‬ ‭29:10-14‬ ‭ESV‬‬

You sound hopeful and determined, keep going!

Thank you!!! Jesus told my mother that I would be fully healed, very soon. I am just praying adimently and waiting now.. The pain I am in is so exhausting, but, I have sort of been dealing with it so long that while it's painful, it's also, dare I say it, boring. I only want Jesus to SHOW me how to end it. I have all these ridiculous fears everyday, and I know they are ridiculous, and it's just so boring. I have tried ERP and they haven't gone away. I think Jesus will show me how to rid myself of this completely, as nothing else has seemed to work!!

I ALSO personally believe, that God brought me here on purpose. You see, before, I was not a believer. I believe He brought me here in order to show me that I needed him. That I couldn't do it on my own.

So maybe troubles came to bring you faith? :hug: Some more encouragement;

“For I consider that the sufferings of this present time are not worth comparing with the glory that is to be revealed to us.”

‭‭Romans‬ ‭8:18‬ ‭ESV‬‬

“Not only that, but we rejoice in our sufferings, knowing that suffering produces endurance, and endurance produces character, and character produces hope, and hope does not put us to shame, because God's love has been poured into our hearts through the Holy Spirit who has been given to us.”

‭‭Romans‬ ‭5:3-5‬ ‭ESV‬‬

“Seek the Lord and his strength; seek his presence continually!”

‭‭1 Chronicles‬ ‭16:11‬ ‭ESV‬‬
